How do you estimate how many 6x6 tiles you would need to complete the spiral design (I need 175 12x12 to complete the floor for the straight pattern). Also how/where do you start the spiral design.

I'm also planning a pattern with 12x12 and 6x6 tiles. I found it helpful to draw out my pattern on graph paper scaled to the size of the room. It'll make an instant reference when I'm laying out the tile. I did buy some extra tile for scrap and replacement, but with the drawing I could count how many tiles of each type it should take.
